Merry Monday: Sequins

I couldn't let Merry Monday's challenge go by without playing along. The challenge is to use sequins. Scroll through my blog - I dare you to find many cards at all without a few sequins. I often just use three sequins to highlight a sentiment or image, but for a sequin challenge, I thought I ought to use a few more.

It's not particularly creative to plop sequins on a wreath - but I love the look of that open wreath. It's also a really nice mix of sequins. It's not just the photo that makes them look different - there are three shades of green and two of red, plus the golden sequins. The picture doesn't do the embossing powder justice. In a different light, you can see that the speckles are actually golden.

Warm reds, festive greens, love your sequins overloaded Christmascard! That's just perfect for the occasion. Love how you incorperate sequins on your cards.Love the Shabby enamel embossingpowder, I haven't seen it used often in combo with a stamps, mostly just as highlights on corners of cards/ images.Love the effect.Bye,

ps. I believe you immediately when it comes to sequins use, ha, ha, yuo're sooooo very good at that. :-)

Am liking all those wonderful sequins! I love how they add just the right amount of sparkle and color to your card. AND...sparkly speckles too! Sweet. The Scarlet Jewel cs is perfect; everything just pops. Great card. Bev

About Me

I live in Parker, Colorado with my husband, two teen boys, a dog and two cats. I began my adult life as an insurance actuary. I was then blessed to be able to spend 15 years raising my boys during which time I discovered stamping! Now I have obtained a second college degree and have begun working as an accountant for my town. Being surrounded by men at home and being surrounded by numbers work, is it any wonder that I am passionately in love with creating cards - a rainbow of colors, glitter, ribbons and stamps, and a wonderful online community!?

COPIC CHARTS

I have made the decision to stop updating Copic charts - except for Stampin' Up. My Favorite Things and Taylored Expressions have their own charts available. I do have old charts available. If you want them, just email me (above) and I can send you a link.
